Using the ListView with VS.NET Orcas Beta1
If you have tried the new grid control (ListView) in Visual Studio .NET Orcas Beta1, you may have noticed that the control has to be registered within the page. To get around this, I had to do two things:
- Register the System.Web.Extensions assembly with the project. Apparently, this assembly is not registered with the projects by default.
- Add the <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" /> entry to the pages -> controls section of the web.config file. Once I did these two items, I got my intellisense and I didn't have to worry with the registration commands on every page.

ASP.NET Podcast Show #90 - Orcas Beta1 Intellisense and Debugging of Web Services and AJAX - video
While this show sounds similar to the previous show, it isn't. The previous show was just about improved Intellisense and Debugging of JavaScript. This show is about Visual Studio .NET Orcas Beta1 support for Intellisense and Debugging of Web Services with AJAX.

One cool thing about JavaScript Intellisense in Orcas - It just works
One of the cool things I am finding about the JavaScript Intellisense support in Orcas is that it just works. You don't have to add any of the document comments to get support for JavaScript Intellisense. It just works without the document comments. I like that. I thought that it would have been necessary to do some other things to wire this up, but it wasn't necessary.

"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX" status update - April 23, 2007
The production editor emailed with a question. Thank goodness it was a small thing. This weekend was the first free weekend in a while. I played golf, watched the kids play softball/baseball, did a podcast, and played basketball. All without the spector of the book. Actually, I have loved working on this book, however, one does need a change.

ASP.NET AJAX in Orcas - Where is it?
If you have downloaded the Orcas Beta 1, you can't find a ASP.NET AJAX Web Site in Visual Studio. Thats because ASP.NET AJAX has been moved into the standard web site in VS.NET. To get ASP.NET AJAX, just use the standard web site in VS.NET Orcas and the controls seem to be there. Have fun.

Orcas Beta1
I'm really pumped about the new bits for Orcas that MS put out yesterday. That is killer. I am planning on diving headfirst into them over the weekend. I am currently expanding out the vpc image. I'll have it up and running by tonight.

"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX" status update - April 19, 2007
Two inquiries from the publisher today. While not horrible or hard by any stretch of the imagination, it still creates a distraction when I have lots to do. These 14 hour days are getting old. Does the pain and agony ever stop?

"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX" status update - April 18, 2007
No more do I think I am done, but I have more to do on our book. Our book has gone to production, however, there were still a few english changes that needed to be made. I don't understand why these editors don't like my creative use of the english language. "I is a developer, not a writer."

"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX" Status Update April 15, 2007
As always, there is more stuff to do with a book. Well, the publisher sent some stuff to me at the end of last week that they needed back. It wasn't much. I worked for an hour or two and then emailed it in. Does writing ever end?

Garbage Collection Modes - GCCollectionMode
I was sitting in a talk by Joe Healy about Orcas at the Mobile, AL Code Camp on Saturday. A slide came up about some new options with the Garbage Collector in .NET. Specifically, I was intrigued by the GCCollectionMode option. I googled for it and I found this post by Chris Lyons: http://blogs.msdn.com/clyon/archive/2007/03/07/new-in-orcas-part-2-gc-collection-modes.aspx

Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX - status update for April 4, 2007
You may have noticed that the quantity of my blog posts and podcasts has been down significantly over January, February, and March. Well, the big reason is that I have been working fairly hard as well as working on revisions for our "Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX" book. As of today, all of my chapters have gone to production for our book. The rest of the authors are fairly close as well to having their chapters go to production. Everyone's chapters should go to production on Monday. The book is scheduled to be on sale in early July at Amazon.
